HOW: Free registration available at:

The increasing importance of data protection is on the radar of all businesses and the transition toward disk-based data protection solutions presents enormous new service line and recurring revenue opportunities for IT service providers. Service providers have a unique opportunity to deliver high-value data protection services to distributed organizations grappling with new internal and external requirements for improving their existing data protection schemes that include an increasing number of remote sites that need backup protection. The challenge lies in identifying a technology platform suitable for the delivery of these services in a way that makes sense for customers and service providers themselves. Most existing backup applications do not meet this criteria, and this is precisely where Asigra's agentless distributed backup software can help.

Attendees of this webinar will learn about:

• The changing data protection landscape and the transition toward disk-based backup
• Customer needs and data protection services opportunities
• Asigra's unique agentless architecture and licensing model which enables service providers to capitalize on the burgeoning market opportunity around data protection services.
• The high cost of agents even when they're ‘free’
